As 55fairlane said, a piloted reamer with an extension would be the way to go. It would take about an hour to modify a reamer so the tooling cost would be around $85.
The barrel should be removed from the receiver to do the job properly. Total shop time would be around 2.5 hours so it would be...
The International Trafficing of Arms Regulations treaty restricts import/export of firearms and parts. This makes life difficult for gunsmiths and owners of vintage and modern firearms not made in one's country of residence.
Probably not an unintended consequence of the regulations...
Barrel concentricity issues have been around for a long long time. WW2 produced US 1903A3 barrels were contoured in a hurry, there was a war on. I have personally seen several that came off sporterized 03A3s that the owners said point of impact shifted when shot quickly. After being replaced...
The clip I saw showed a committee member asking the VA person if, should this bill become law, would the VA obey or ignore it. The VA person said they would not comply with the law if enacted.
.32 pocket revolvers were very popular until the mid 1960's. I had a friend who was a retired Columbus Ohio cop. He spent a number of years working with the coroner's office and asked the coroner what the most common caliber used in homicides. .32 was first and .22lr was second...
The rules have changed drastically from the service pistol meant a government model 1911A1 or civilian made equivalent with adjustable sights and 4 pound trigger pull and using issued GI .45 acp ball ammo.
Those pistols weren't marked DCM or CMP.
The list of allowed pistols has expanded greatly...
All NM M14 rifles were made semi auto by removing the selector and replacing it with a dummy selector which were 2 pieces pinned together and the pin welded in.
The dummy selector could be cut off and replaced with a functional one if needed by the military so it was not a permanent conversion.
We have a Democrat Congressman to thank for the pricing at the CMP. He amended the bill that created the CMP in the early 1990's to require all arms sold to sell at "fair market value".
I feel it comes down to training or lack thereof.
I am still amused by the fact that the 1911 has a grip safety because the US Cavalry wanted the 1911 to be carried with a round in the chamber, cocked and UNLOCKED(safety off) to be able to be brought into action quickly.
This idea did not...
